    "Division commander, we can't build a bridge to cross the river near our camp. Otherwise, if we are discovered by coalition reconnaissance planes and are attacked by airstrikes and dropped bombs, we will be completely ruined. We, we will build a bridge in the middle of the junction with the 2nd Infantry Division and cross the river.  , if the enemy discovers it and has time to evacuate, and the artillery regiment really can't get through, it can just stay on the riverside. The key is that we can't walk all the way to the dark side. I guess the enemy will never cross the river to the other side even if they take a roundabout way.  Go, the lakes and swamps on the other side of the Kharkov River are definitely not suitable for large force operations!" Kravshenko's eyes rolled and he had a bad idea.  Fastest update, hand typed

    While Milevsky was still in the process, a divisional combat staff report broke into the tent door, "Report to the division commander and chief of staff. Mihalik, the commander of the 2nd Infantry Division, called and asked why they were asked to enter the position and be on guard, and whether the enemy was pursuing them."  Coming up? They asked us to report the enemy situation in the north as soon as possible!"

    Milevsky turned around, and Kravshenko blushed and said, "Before I woke up the division commander, I asked someone to call the headquarters of the 2nd Infantry Division." It turns out that although the position width of the 1st Ukrainian Infantry Division is 5  It's less than a kilometer, but the location of the division headquarters is 4 kilometers to the south. In addition to connecting the wired telephones to the positions of the regiments of the 1st Infantry Division, the division headquarters telephone soldiers also pulled the line all the way to the 2nd Infantry Division in the south.  On the battlefield.

    Milevsky nodded after hearing this. He also made up his mind at this moment. He walked out of the tent and came to the division headquarters tent. He directly picked up the phone and talked to the 2nd Infantry Division. Read the latest chapter.

    ¡°I am Milevsky, Taras Tasimovich, don¡¯t panic, the enemy has not caught up, it¡¯s just that we lost a sentry at the outer guard post, and we are still sending people to search, Chief of Staff?

    Chief of Staff Konstantin Konstantinovich is a cautious guy, yes, it¡¯s a bit too fussy, yes, yes, I know, my 1st Division is also very tired after not sleeping all night, but, I say  Taras Tasimovich, be careful. We all saw the news that the first line of defense in the north was attacked by enemy air raids in the morning. I don't think we should be careless. It has been almost 4 hours. If the enemy really wants to pursue us,  Come up, maybe they will actually touch you!  "

    "Ask for instructions from the former enemy headquarters? No, what stupid idea can the former enemy headquarters come up with for us in broad daylight? Now they are asking us to run another fifteen kilometers to evacuate to Kharkov. You can run but I can't  I can¡¯t run, I haven¡¯t slept all night and I¡¯m still hungry now. Besides, do you think it¡¯s a good idea to evacuate to Kharkov in broad daylight? Maybe the main force of the coalition forces will be waiting in Kharkov.  Catch us all in one fell swoop!¡±

    "Follow my command? Okay, the chief of staff just gave me an idea. I think it works. Let's first withdraw the artillery regiment to the other side of the river. Yes, we need to build a pontoon bridge. The engineer battalion of my 1st Division will do it.  It didn't take an hour to set up. We withdrew the two artillery regiments to the other side of the river, so at least the artillerymen were safe.

    Then, yes, I plan to send a cavalry battalion to fight back along the way and wipe out the opponent's reconnaissance troops!  Yep!  Catch the opponent by surprise. Then, our two divisions will form a pocket formation, waiting for the opponent to come over and defeat him!  Yep!  Okay, that's it, the former enemy headquarters has taken the blame, and I, Milevsky, will take full responsibility. Please pay attention to radio silence. During the day, we can only be grandsons!  Yes, that¡¯s it!  "

    After making such a call, Milevsky, the commander of the 1st Infantry Division, turned around and pinched his waist and said proudly to his chief of staff, "It's all done, my chief of staff, I told Mihalik  Withdraw the artillery regiment across the river for safety, and build a bridge on the river bank behind the camp near the 2nd Infantry Division. He agreed, but the engineer battalion of our division had to do the work. His troops retreated last night and walked 5 more miles than we did.  After a long journey, I¡¯m sleeping like a dead dog and can¡¯t even get up!¡±

    "The division commander's wisdom and skills will be of great use in the future. Taking advantage of the opportunity to evacuate the artillery to the safe area on the other side, the bridge will be built. When the time comes, the entire division will forcefully cross over. With the natural danger of the Kharkov River, the Allied ground forces will have to  It won't be easy to catch up!" The chief of staff kept patting his commander on his back.

    "Pass my order and call the commander of the division's reconnaissance battalion. I will give him the order myself!" Milevsky sat down with his golden sword, while the orderly took a piece of black bread and a teapot from his hands.  After filling his stomach again, he slurredly asked his chief of staff to sit down and have something to eat.

    The messenger went out to call for someone. After a while, a big man wearing a Cossack hat and a black cloak rushed in. When he saw Milevsky and Kravshenko, he stood at attention and saluted.

    "Reporting to the division commander and chief of staff, Major Levchenko, commander of the cavalry reconnaissance battalion, has been ordered to arrive. Please give instructions!"

    Although the cavalry battalion commander¡¯s face looked tired and exhausted, his eyes were bloodshot, he was quite energetic and his voice was quite loud.

    "Yevgeny Alexeyevich, are the brothers exhausted? There is still a difficult task ahead.?Leave it to your battalion to complete it, are you confident?  "The division commander Milevsky pretended to be serious.

    "I said, Commander, hurry up and give the order. I have to fall asleep this time. Last night, my cavalry battalion stood in the front and felt the darkness to explore the way for the whole division. I didn't use torches, but it made me and my battalion miserable.  Yes!" the cavalry battalion commander grinned.

    "Okay! If you have this energy, the team will not collapse. I will give you 10 minutes to assemble your battalion, mount up and set off. Your battalion will search the way we came from to the north. It must be at least 5 kilometers away. There are 2 kilometers on both sides of the forest path.  Keep your eyes open and watch carefully within a kilometer. If you encounter an enemy, come back and report it immediately. If the enemy is a large force, just make a false shot and retreat to the southwest to Kharkov. There is no need to return to the camp here. If the enemy is a small force,  Reconnaissance troops, then resolutely eat the other side, don't let them run back to deliver the message, understand?" Milevsky glared and ordered.

    "It's my battalion again, working with our cavalry to do the dirty work all the way? Division Commander, I'm saying something ugly. If the coalition air force flies over to strafe and bomb, my cavalry will definitely be scattered. How far will it go?"  Just run as far as you can to take away the enemy's troops, okay! This isn't the first time I've done this! If there's nothing else, I'll set off!" Levchenko saluted in dismay.  Chu Ya accepted such a difficult task.

    Milevsky and Kravshenko looked at Levchenko¡¯s desolate back with mixed feelings in their hearts. After they calmed down, the teacher shouted again at the top of his lungs,

    "Commander, call the engineer battalion commander! Pass my order. The 3rd Infantry Regiment is on guard on the right flank. The artillery regiment is moving closer to the 2nd Infantry Division position. The entire division must pay attention to concealment. It is absolutely forbidden to light a fire for cooking. How dare you  The smoke exposed the target and I have to deal with him!"
